Plagiarism

Plagiarism is an aspect of academic misconduct which threatens fair assessment. It also raises important learning and teaching issues. Consistency is key, as is a dovetailing of governance, regulations, conventions and penalties, with support, guidance and education of both staff and students in good anti-plagiarism practice.

The University’s philosophy takes plagiarism seriously, but also acknowledges that in a complex learning climate an education-led approach is desirable and more sustainable.

The University’s Plagiarism Policy has been revised and approved by Academic Board for implementation in September 2015.
